Question 1
How can we be sure that you will not leave us soon?
There are four rounds from personality to intro, case and final round, not particularly tricky but to test the thinking. Very quick process if you are able to make the time

Initial Screen: A 30-minute introductory phone/video call with an HR recruiter to review your motivation, soft skills, and career goals.
Technical & Managerial Rounds: 1-on-1 or panel interviews with line managers or Managing Directors. These heavily test my financial acumen and industry knowledge.
